<p>There have been many things about becoming parents that have surprised us. There are also been things from organising <a onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/extlink/lca2010.org.nz']);" href="http://lca2010.org.nz">LCA2010</a> that have surprised us. One of the more surprising things that is that Susanne has become more of a geek.</p>
<p>Not terribly surprising really, that after co-directing one of the ultimate geek conferences that you'd pick up a few things. Not only is Susanne now an expert Inkscape user, she is now at home hacking HTML, writing using LaTeX, posting on Twitter &amp; identi.ca, using request tracking systems and last but not least IRC. IRC was vital to organising LCA, but Susanne and I have continued to use IRC now that LCA is over to chat while I'm at work, and as it turns out around the house. For example:</p>
<pre>
&lt;MadHatter&gt; 16:10:54&gt; Please pick up your son
&lt;MadHatter&gt; 16:11:05&gt; now please
&lt;MadHatter&gt; 16:11:10&gt; NOW please
&lt;MadHatter&gt; 16:11:12&gt; NOW
&lt;MadHatter&gt; 16:11:18&gt; NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW
&lt;MadHatter&gt; 16:11:28&gt; I'm on strike
&lt;MadHatter&gt; 16:11:41&gt; Andrew
&lt;MadHatter&gt; 16:11:56&gt; Andrew Graeme Ruthven!
&lt;MadHatter&gt; 16:12:10&gt; Pick. Up. Your. Son
&lt;MadHatter&gt; 16:12:13&gt; Please
&lt;MadHatter&gt; 16:12:19&gt; Please!
</pre>
<p>The funniest part was that, even though I was using my laptop, my IRC client wasn't running. My IRC proxy was happily logging those requests, so when Susanne was cracking up with laughter (thinking I was ignoring her) I was able to catch up on what was happening...</p>

Dad was in great shock at being woken up at 2:20 am, when contractions began, then a mere 2 hours later at 4:32 holding his son - Adam Robert Ruthven. Mum was in even greater shock at arriving at the hospital to be told that she was ready to push!<br />
<br />
Mum &amp; Dad are both incredibly proud of Adam, weighing in at 3.6kg (7lb 15oz).<br />

She is being a perfect big sister, helping us care for Adam, even helping with nappy changes! (We're hopeful this will continue...)<br />
